About 5028: Insight (Sci-Fi Audiobook)

Before I start, this is a webseries on YouTube. If there are any revenues made (which, given the low size of the channel, there probably won't, but IF THERE ARE) they will be split among the cast of the project. The majority of royalties will go to the main cast.

Dalia Fitz, one of the Ten Soulless Commanders is captured during a raid on an enemy faction during war. When she meets Lux, a member of the faction who is holding her captive, the two team up to get her back home, and discover the secret of the ancient Faraxian Cube. Along the way they face a number of challenges and betrayals, leading Dalia to question her morals.

The project is planned to be an online series for my youtube channel, Moof Miser, where a chapter is released either weekly or biweekly depending on actor availability. The basis of the project is this: Every one or two weeks, we produce a chapter of the novel for listening in an audio format. I plan to try to have everyone working closely together after the auditions, so that we can get to know the other people working in the different roles.

The videos will be formatted like a traditional audiobook, with everyone reading their lines, but with custom compositions to accompany the story, so as to engage the listeners a bit more. There will be 11 episodes to be released, and if all goes well (and the actors and actresses who were chosen are willing), a sequel that will be produced later on. This will place the whole project as taking place over the course of between 3 to 6 months, though getting finished with lines faster is always a plus, as it gives more time for editing and composing for the final pieces. The lengths of each episode will depend on the lengths of each chapter.

The protagonist of the novel:-Has a slightly lower voice for a woman. It should sound decently pointed in its deliverance when she's stressed, and more inquisical when she's calm.

- While highly critical of herself, she loves to crack a joke- Ex-Military commander, so she speaks with a bit of authority, but is very unsure of it. - Motivated by her choices as a Commander in the past

"(With withheld contempt) Good to see you as well, Two...May I ask why you came all the way up here?"

"(Part of a general conversation with Lux). Well, I have a knack for engineering, so it would only make sense. Engineering and general tech stuff. I like to tinker... What about you? You must have some story."

"(Making a deal with a bounty hunter while breaking onto a ship.) Okay, first off, I still haven’t even gotten you out of that jail cell... Second off, I’m not here for the bounty. That’s my artifact, kinda need it."

- Voice is on the lower side when talking seriously, rises when he's cracking a joke. If possible, use a North Dublin Irish accent.- There's a lot of energy behind his voice, try your best to show that. - He's a huge joker- Takes things seriously, but knows how to laugh at them as well- He's Irish- Swaps between calm and hyper with no inbetween.

"(Deciding to break Dalia out of the brig on his ship to help her get home) I don’t know why, and I don’t have any idea what the repercussions are for this, but I’m going to trust you, and you’re just going to have to trust me here."

"(Trying to convince Dalia there's a chance that they could get into a temple) I’m sorry, but you have a cool cubey artifact thingy that probably belonged to the Faraxians. If anything could even possibly get us in there, it’s your cool cubey artifact thingy."

"(While being interrogated as to why he's protecting someone from the other side of the war) Crew looks out for each other."

Ex-Bandit/Bounty Hunter- Described as having a rough, gravelly voice. A bit on the middle/high register of the voice. Not squeaky, but not butch.

- Slightly psychotic- Was stabbed in the back before the time of the story, grows to trust Dalia.

"(negotiating with dalia to let her out of a cell on a ship she's breaking into) Alright, fine. So I guess I’ll help you out, if you let me out of here. We can get that cube of yours, and we’ll be on our own separate ways. Deal?"

"(Sitting in the wreckage of the Olympus, talking with Dalia) You aren’t going to give me any of that ‘chosen one’ stuff are you? Cause I’ve gone through a lot in the past few hours and don’t think I could put up with that."

"(After blowing up a hole in the floor of a ship in the attempt to escape) Hey guys, I found a way down!"

You're basically Dalia. This is mainly to split up the duties so that one person doesn't have to do both her dialogue and narration. Imagine her character description but... older? For reference:

-Has a slightly lower voice for a woman. It should sound decently pointed in its deliverance when she's stressed, and more inquisical when she's calm.

This is a VERY intensive role, as the novel is around 140 pages, so don't audition unless you intend on sticking around.

"He wasn’t a soldier, he had others do his dirty work. That’s why I was here on this mission. They needed someone who understood what it meant to be a soldier. Honestly, saying this out loud makes me realize how poor of a choice I was for this job."

"These weren’t used as much anymore, but they had their uses. I checked the canister, adjusting it to see if it was still good. If not, it could blow up and I’d lose my face, and I’d rather keep this gorgeous mug."

"There was a group running after me, flanking me on all sides. I ducked behind a tree, slipping into the dipped ground beneath its roots. My breathing slowed, quieting itself. Staying still, I listened to the sounds of footsteps around me. A blue glow revealed a pair of brown, thigh high, buckled boots. As they began to pass, they stopped. I held my breath, afraid that if I made the slightest move, I’d be caught."

Not really an antagonist, but kinda, but not really. - Voice is deep for a female, but not super low. Her voice swaps between kind and commanding. The rest is up for interpretation.

- Hates Dalia- Very authoritative, takes control- Doesn't like to show vulnerability- Only appears at the start of this story

"I wouldn’t bother trying to hide if I were you."

"You can’t seriously be considering keeping it on board. Lux, it’s a Soulless. You know, one of those things that have been trying to murder everyone in the Galaxy? It would kill us the second it had a chance."

- Voice is very deep and commanding. She should be a fairly loud character. - Yells a lot- Skeptical of just about everything

"(After confiscating the artifact the Olympus crew had obtained) And as I said before, this is a Solar Federation matter now. That is the end of this discussion. We will provide your ship with the necessary repairs, but then we want you three gone. Is that understood?"

"We’ve prepared some cots in the cargo hold. You’ll be rooming there until your ship is complete. You may wander the ship as you please, a bell will sound for mealtimes."

"(After finding out that their ship, The Hypernova, is about to go under attack) Gods damnit. I don’t know how you three manage to stir up this much trouble, but it looks like you’re telling the truth."

"Doctor Lesus... I’m glad to meet the crew of this fine ship... So what are the names of you three?

"Glad they called me in to help out. I’m an old military engineer, worked on stuff like this back in the first war. Currently I’m researching Faraxian technology as I hear you three are- (gets cut off) er, yes... were."

"(as the Hypernova is preparing to be attacked) She is correct, Captain. There’s no way our ship could take on a Soulless Command vessel, and if she were with them, she would not have advised us to abandon ship."
